西方学者围绕马克思的价值向生产价格转化理论展开了近百年的争论,争论经历了三个阶段:1 9世纪末至 2 0世纪初,关于 资本论 第一卷与第三卷是否矛盾问题的争论;2 0世纪上半叶至 80年代,关于马克思的价值转化为生产价格理论的数字说明是否完善的争论即狭义转形问题;2 0世纪 60年代起。

Debates among Western scholars over Marxist theory of “transformation form the values the prices of production”have been going on for almost a hundred years.Looking back into the history one can find out that the debates have actually undergone three stages.The period between the late 19th century and early 20th century is the first stage.At this stage the debate revolves around whether Volumes 1 and 3 of CAPITAL contain conflicting ideas.From the first half of the 20th century to 1980s is the second stage.During this period the theme is whether the data Marx cited to support his theory are sufficient enough.Actually this topic is a question of transformation in the narrow sense.The question of transformation in a broad sense is raised at the third stage which starts from the 1960,when the scholars are engaged in the debate over whether the theory of value production cost transformation founded by Marx is necessary at all.
